I mean, aside from foldables, why should I buy a new phone if nothing’s changed much. Most new Android releases seem to make me dislike something here and there.
I’ve had this phone for about a year and a half now, I’m going to take it to a phone repair place and swap out the battery for a new one, then it will be just like new
What about comments though?
… the most qualified candidate in the history of people running for president…
You do realize that she was extremely widely disliked right? You do realize that we got Trump because the Democrats wanted a stack the deck in her favor by giving air time to the looniest sounding opponent? You two realize that despite all that, she did not have a clear win?
She was so qualified that people thought that the" you’re fired" guy with connections to the mob or whatever, dealings and cover ups with a pornstar, and (at the time) widely talked about connections with a foreign power… Got into the white house?
And you have a gal to blame people who exercise their democratic right to vote? Fuck you. It’s people like you who are the reason that we’re stuck in this polarized two party system.
As for RGB, yes she should have retired under Obama. The Republicans did all kinds of shenanigans to get all their supreme Court people in, and it’s okay when they do it, but the Democrats have to fight clean or whatever, so now Row v. Wade is gone
I’d be more happy if they just dug a really big borehole and then just filled it up where no one lives
Doh, I got them mixed up. I thought it was on the golden record on Voyager
Yes, this is a case where the carrot is better than the stick. I’m not danish (maybe a blueberry one though), but if I was prone to burning books and the government suddenly cracked down on that, maybe I’m also prone to burning constitutions?
Harry Potter 8 : so it turns out Voldemort put horcruxes on space probes
No, no it’s not.
Ok, you first
Does lemmy have sort by controversial?
I’m not a right wing person, but I’m not a fan of the current neoliberal culture war people from the democrats either.
Speaking as an independent, people for unironically say the word bigot come off as unpalatable as people who unironically (actually ironically is probably worse) say the word snowflake. And really, you’re saying effing? Say your curse worse and commit or don’t bother.
The biggest weapon the objectively immoral on the right have is the subjective disgust they have with ‘leftist’ social rhetoric. Everyone is just reactionary and out country is in a mutually abusive relationship with a side of self harm
On meltdown issues maybe, but if it’s one of the molten salt types, they generate way more waste. Old school rods make long term storage of waste actually pretty easy
And this is why I think plug in hybrids are the way to go for most new car buyers for the next few years. Unfortunately greenies think im a plague doctor peddling useless herbs and the diesel heads are convinced that I invented a way to replace testicles with soybeans.
A PHEV uses 5x less critical material than a compatible BEV, and people with one of these can be in ev mode 80% of the time or at least run the gas engine but get way higher carbon efficiency than ICE alone.
Unfortunately the new IRA bill nuked federal rebate for most of them and dealers are still charging an arm, leg, kidney, and firstborn in dealer markups
Also, when I leave my work laptop at work I don’t feel compelled to do any more work after I leave the office. When I take it home with me I have a constant feeling that usually ends up with me checking emails or finishing stuff at 9:00 or 10:00 p.m.
It’s like homework that never ever ever gets finished and I’m tired of pretending that it’s not literally homework.
It definitely depends. I generally do work from home on fridays, but I give barely any fucks about work on Friday. I am way more productive in the office. That’s said, my commute is literally 7 minutes so I don’t really care. It’s actually kind of nice to mentally transition myself from work to home.
I’d happily pay for a 2023 Adobe Lightroom classic. Unfortunately Adobe doesn’t offer this, but I can find it sailing the high seas branded this way.
It’d be cool to just buy it and get a year’s worth of updates with the option of going subscription then
The issue is that is that now they have your billing address and credit card number
I blame the 2 party system. The democrats could do us on this but the whole culture war thing is really a huge distraction. Democrats seem willing to lose out on everything they proclaim to care about to make everything qia+ their main focus. And they should probably not try to take texan guns on the same platform as anything else.
A don’t mess with texan women campaign by a pro gun democrat that is quiet and center on other social issues, along with generic “economic growth” talk might actually do well.
An update from a previous Android version to a newer one borked the battery life. It’s been noticeably worse than when new. It has times when it just heats up because the CPU is going better, but the actual load is minimal.
It’s done because this phone has battery saving features, like you can set it to only charge up to 80%. Over time the max battery life has taken a moderate hit. It’s not that it’s not tolerable, it’s just that I wanted to refresh. Also I kind of messed up my headphone jack, I thi k the ground contact broke, and I already ordered the replacement parts so I want that installed anyway, so I might as well put in a new battery.
